Hello and welcome at "Ask a Doctor" service.

I would kindly ask you some more information related to your symptoms so I can better assist you.
- For how long have you noticed these symptoms?
- Where exactly do you feel numb? (this helps us a lot locate the possible nerve being pressed)
- Do you get leg pain or back pain as well?
- How long does the numbness last after you stand and walk?
- Have you had any trauma or lifted any heavy object or something that might have caused this?
- Do you feel week at your legs?
- Any numbness in the genital area or problem controlling urine or bowel movement?
- Any other symptoms or problems with arms or other areas of the body?
- How old are you?

Waiting to hear back from you soon.
